We would like to remind Wii U owners that as previously announced, the Wii Street U powered by Google service will be discontinued on March 31st 2016, at 23:59 local time. Once the service is discontinued, this software will not be usable.

To prepare for this, the software will be removed from Nintendo eShop at 23:59 local time on January 31st 2016. Users who have already purchased the software will be able to re-download it until 23:59 local time on March 31st 2016.

We apologise to those of you currently using this service, and we ask for your understanding as we focus our resources in other areas.

This was a pretty cool service; you could move the Gamepad around to change your view on Google Streetview. Admittedly I haven't used it for a while, but it's a shame that it's ending. It's starting to feel like the U is being moved into the backwaters :-(.

We may as well keep a Wii U thread around until we stop posting in it, which could even be after the NX launches as not everyone will jump in immediately. I'm happy for you to keep running the threads, jawa, as long as you're happy to do so.

To be honest I haven't corroborated the 250 page rule with actual data yet so that might change. But it would still be good to have a fresh OP either way and please don't use a weird thread title as it'll make a useless URL. That's the main reason the rule exists, so that the 1st page stays relevant over often many years.

I can't overstate how powerful a relevant URL/thread title is for attracting new users - even if they don't sign up, it brings in a little ad revenue for the server I pay for.

That's ace - thanks, Gecko. If it's okay with you, I will stick with the current name format of (something like) Nintendo Wii U [CHAT] - Club U. I've got some time this afternoon so I'll start work on the new thread.

. I may well play on that a little bit with the opening post. In Club U, we laugh in the face of impending doom .
